Build hanging on an error.

[Andrew Wagner]

Hello-

I'm trying to build on os x 10.4.11, and ran into the same problem  
this fellow did on BSD:

It turned out that the compiler was seeing the right flex binary, but  
the wrong header.  For some reason tweaking my path variable didn't  
help and I had to clobber the old version in order for my new version  
(in /opt/local/include/) to be seen:

mv /usr/include/
sudo mv FlexLexer.h FlexLexer.h_bak
sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/FlexLexer.h FlexLexer.h

Hopefully this'll turn up in google searches along with the original  
call for help.

Thanks!
